Tony Cornell stands out as one of the most remarkable investigators to ever work with the UK’s Society for Psychical Research, and this episode follows his extraordinary life and career. Drawing on long lost archives uncovered at the University of Cambridge, author Ben Machell resurrects Cornell’s world through unpublished memoirs, tapes, and case files, revealing a man determined to probe the mysteries of haunted houses, phantom hounds, and baffling manifestations while keeping a sceptic’s eye. In the Plus+ extension we travel to the mist shrouded shores of Maryland’s Eastern waterfronts with Mysterious Middle River, where Joshua and Dolores Bell recount decades of chilling encounters filled with spectral visitations, ghostly apparitions, and otherworldly forces that linger at the edge of the supernatural.
